ROTTED COMMERCAL CROME SINK DRAIN NEEDS REPLACEMENT

[@steveblanco4123]

Served my apprenticeship as a plumber/domestic gas heater with my father in the early 90s. Watching your videos takes me back. He'd have really enjoyed your videos a lot. Much love and respect man.

[@KurtMGibbs]

"Pro-press queens"...cracks me up every time. I ran into the very same problem with my house, which is plumbed entirely with copper DWV. I soldered on an 1 1/2" male adapter and then threaded on a brass trap adapter.

[@sydsyd]

I did a similar job when I was an apprentice; I set the smoke alarm off, and every single fire truck in my area came out. What a mess! Great video!

[@AStanton1966]

As a volunteer, we were sanding the wood floors at the church's rectory and that set off the smoke alarm for the local vol fire department. We didn't get any bad gas from it.

[@PlumbGodGaming]

We generally just sweat on a marvel thread adapter to the stubbed out piece, then just thread on the whole p trap assembly. Awesome video!

[@martinconnell8510]

Thats the best way

[@deadstiff6486]

We stub out with 1-1-/2” nipples then the trap arm is threaded then slip joint nuts and gaskets on both ends of p trap !

Hey Steve you can cut the handle off your wire brush and put it on your drill. Get it super clean in no time ;)

[@americanfirst913]

Hey Steve I’ve found it a lot easier when cleaning bigger pipe to cut off a wire brush just above the handle and stick it in a drill. Just a little plumbing hack I’ve picked up over the years! Great videos by the way!

[@timhendley1950]

I love the smell when you have to unsweat the kitchen sink drains. 😆

[@repro7780]

mmm, yummy!

[@theduffster2581]

I’ve used the old plastic bag trick over the smoke alarms many many times 👍🏻

[@peterfong8777]

A hard working man. Thanks

[@ablelock]

Only skilled plumbers like you Steve are the ones that are able to Sauter some that are unskilled they have to use the power press. Because they just can’t do it the real professional way. Great video Steve keep up the good work.

[@realestateservicessaleshea99]

I never seen the one's that go over the pipe? I use to scrape and solder ,but as time went on the one's that had room I just installed desanko (stuby sweat) fittings! Thanks for the videos! 🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🍿🎯 Stay safe. Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!

[@Vermontractor]

Thats the way the rest of the country does it. Mass is different for some reason. I mean if the mechanical connection is made properly it shouldnt ever be a problem. Its a problem when its an emergency call and its clogged. To get a straight shit at the clog you have to cut off the soldered elbow.

[@edwardkuntush9339]

Love all your videos thanks for sharing i learn a lot from your expertise Steve

[@mikeekim1972]

Professional is all I can say about that....maybe "why would you wear gloves....lol. Great vids Steve and Molly keep them coming.

That's why I love your videos,you show the work being done not like a certain idiot that's on KZbin.

[@holtrussell]

Nice work Steve.

[@ClickinChicken]

Steven is his diesel. love it

[@stevesaetta1241]

Holy! I never knew you could just sweat that, I always add a trap adapter or marvel ring, this would be great in some circumstances! Maybe some 50/50 would help? Also, I love your videos, it feels like watching “COPS” but plumbing haha!! Cheers!

[@CitizenShane]

Steve lookin' thicc but soldering like a pro!

[@thekrazykshow8011]

As Always Steve another great video, I learn so much by watching you so when I call someone to fix something I know how not to get a hack job done, your always professional and honest and that's what Ilike most about you

Sweat on a 1-1/2" brass desanco

[@christopherlange3001]

Solid work !

[@Vermontractor]

Why does Mass not allow the traps to have a mechanical connection instead of soldered? Curious.

[@deadstiff6486]

I also wonder that too .. they surly have different codes .. I think a lot has to do with the weather!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

if you want to be a real pumbler you have to know how to do the complete job using a torch is a basic tool

[@BrickTop900]

@@stevenlavimoniere it’s interesting that you sweat traps in like that over there…. Mechanical connection on an item that needs periodic replacement is common sense. Doesn’t make a lick of difference if you can solder or not. Where I’m from we can’t even solder… brazing only but we still use mechanical connections on traps

[@pauliemoto]

@@stevenlavimoniere gotta love the propress queens👎

[@TheKalle45]

@@BrickTop900 you may need to remove the trap for example if the drain is clogged and you need to use a powered spiral. Sewer cleaners usual don´t sweat traps 🤔

[@WeatherNut27]

Nice job! @ 6:47 most young guys would grab the sawzall. Lol

[@jconlin8216]

I’d have put on a desanco fitting. Then reconnect the trap and possibly a longer tailpiece or an ext tail piece

not really its just a fact real plumbers have to use it all the time .propress queens are not plumbers they cant be .. a torch is a every day tool needed . correct me if i am wrong ..

Steve didn’t you do something similar to this place a few years back at the same school/ daycare?

[@deadstiff6486]

Haha Steve you tell em ! Do that with a pro press lol … most of them guys don’t even carry a torch..

[@rayb2078]

Have you ever checked out the price of the pro press to begin with, and you do not even get a spare tire with it...... along with the price of the fittings... that will leak down the road...... especially the hot water pipe side....

Those smoke alarms be linked to fire department. So if they go off the fire department will show up.

[@philipaday27]

Thought you were on a hiding for nothing. Fitting looked too loose and the depth of the solder didn’t look good. But you pulled it off. Props

[@aaronhuffman4852]

Is it code In Massachusetts to have solder on traps in commercial buildings?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

NO PVC ALLOWED

[@Pablomcdubbin]

Don't want to set the alarm off the plumbing police will be shortly behind lol

[@usajasbir]

this way it will be very hard to clean drain pipe in future i would not go that route

[@Miamitalentg]

Should have used a shark bite on that . Would have been as lot easier.

Steve, imagine not easy to solder that large diameter copper pipe. Pvc would be so much easier if code allowed!

Suprised you didn’t just Jed Clamp it! You bag how bad pvc is, yet pvc does not rot! And if use light weight crap yes it can break, just use right gage! Like everything if not used/installed properly it can and will fail! That thin chrome pipe is crap! Rots and smashes you have to treat it like an egg or it crunches! Think an egg is tougher!
